WOW! More records are being set with NCIS Background Checks! The February numbers have just been published showing that on a National basis, Jan-Feb 2016 is UP 42% over Jan-Feb 2015. Ohio’s growth is even larger – UP 54%! Several things are likely causing these increases: * Obama & Hillary anti-gun penchant * Increased fear of danger from illegals or terrorists * Anti-police rhetoric possibly causing police to pull back. People are purchasing guns as a new purchase or buying additional firearms. I’ve never seen any data of purchases by gender but based on what I’ve seen at the range, my guess is a high percentage of women are buying for self-defense. The classes I’ve taken so far have consisted of over half the class being made up of women “over 50”.
